Philadelphia Media Stunned after John Tortorella's surprising apology
John Tortorella has never been known as someone to apologize, especially not to the media, making his recent actions even more stunning to reporters in Philadelphia.
Despite always being known as someone that's tough to deal with in the media, John Tortorella has stunned reporters in Philadelphia recently, apologizing for the way he handled a recent press conference. The press conference in question came after the Flyers were downed 4-1 by the Florida Panthers, when a reporter asked a question about Felix Sandstrom, to which Tortorella did not reply, and simply ended the media availability.
Now, just a few days later, Tortorella has seemingly turned a new leaf, as he apologized to the media, much to the shock of everyone in attendance in Philadelphia.
This is definitely a new look for one of the NHL's most renowned 'old-school' coaches, but as he acknowledged, the reporter had the right to ask the question, and the response was certainly not a good one. The Flyers may now have their answer in net with the reported arrival of Alexei Kolosov, so hopefully that can steady things in net for the Flyers, and with John Tortorella behind the bench, they remain a major threat in the Eastern Conference.
